This book is written by leading experts in the field and provides an  
overview of existing research and also looks at future developments.  
It provides a much deeper insight than can be obtained through  
existing research libraries, aggregations, or search engines. In  
tackling the subject from a research, rather than practitioner  
standpoint, scientists, engineers and postgraduate students will find  
a definitive and foundational text that includes field overviews,  
references, issues, new research, problems and solutions, and  
opinions from industrial experts and renowned academics.
